What makes the accompanying photos my favourites of 2017 are the moments that go along with them. Whether it’s the interesting interview or chat I had with the subject or, in the case of the woodpecker, the first time I had seen one in person.

This year I got the chance to photograph people on their best day — and their worst — meet new people and see parts of Kingston from different viewpoints.

Since I never know the situation I’ll be in from one day to the next, I still get nervous before most assignments. But I do love the challenge of taking that one photo that showcases the story or captures the moment in a different light.
